Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and spread of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase (NDM) in Italy: A call for policymakers by Gabriella Nucera

“…A ntimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change in ways that render the medications used to cure the infections they cause ineffective [1]. …”
